Materials Data on Rb2SeO4 by Materials Project
Rb2SeO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.48 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.52 Å. Se6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.67–1.69 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom.
